Abstract

To provide a lightning information system capable of predicting lightning strikes with high accuracy and speed. [Solution] According to the embodiment, the lightning information provision system comprises a lightning prediction device and an information distribution device. The lightning prediction device comprises a data collection unit and a lightning prediction processing unit. The data collection unit collects weather-related data from data sources including a multi-parameter phased array weather radar. The lightning prediction processing unit calculates lightning prediction data based on the weather-related data. The information distribution device comprises a determination unit and an information distribution unit. The determination unit determines whether or not to issue a warning based on the lightning prediction data. The information distribution unit issues a warning based on the determination result of the determination unit.
